Step-by-Step Instructions
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add one sliced onion and three minced garlic cloves, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
- Remove onions and garlic, then melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the same skillet. Add two chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Transfer chicken to a plate.
- Reduce heat to medium and whisk together 1 cup of chicken broth, ½ cup of heavy cream, 4 ounces of cream cheese, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, and ¼ cup of grated Parmesan cheese, stirring for 5-6 minutes until melted and creamy. Add back the sautéed onions and garlic.
- Return chicken to the skillet, nestling in the creamy sauce and let simmer gently for 10 minutes.
- Stir in one pound of chopped asparagus, cover the skillet, and simmer for an additional 4-5 minutes until tender and vibrant green.
- Uncover and let the sauce simmer for another 2-3 minutes or until thickened to desired consistency.
- Serve the meal garnished with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, alongside mashed potatoes or al dente pasta.
